Notes: This tenderly produced war-drama would have resonated with the families of the fallen and returned and did fine numbers for Hoyts. 384 EF points took it to 17th place for the year and it also scored highly for engagements (6th) and top-billings (5th). Regularly supported by The Tattooed Stranger.
